Sounds like a load of fuse's. I would check for loose wiring/earths.

brucellosis, Sounds like the connectors at the back of the instrument panel as loose. Try to push the instrument panel in gently (put your hand each at one side). It may help  :y

But why yours has blown whilst going along is the question :(.
